Sunset Cottage Blocks from Downtown

Sunrise Cottage is a welcoming mountain escape while remaining blocks from the heart of downtown Brevard. Tucked off the main street and behind the owner’s residence, this stand-alone home offers everything you would need with its two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, living room, and screened-in porch. Enjoy the property's lush gardens with flowers from April through October. There is a fountain patio with rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, and a sun umbrella perfect for relaxing in the morning with your coffee or unwinding at the end of the day with your favorite beverage. There is also a fire pit with outdoor furniture for making s’mores.

For all ages, we have equipment to give you a great workout. There is a Ninja rig built by an American Ninja Warrior, a climbing wall, and behind the fence is a fort with swings, and a climbing dome.

The screen porch’s seating allows you to kick your feet up and breathe in the fresh mountain air or enjoy a meal or morning coffee at the cafe table with the backdrop of flower gardens, songbirds, white squirrels, and rabbits.

The cottage has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, while the other has a trundle with 2 twin beds. The dresser in the trundle room has a pull-out shelf perfect for working on your laptop. Both rooms have Echo dots for music and alarm clocks. The kitchen provides filtered drinking water, a dishwasher, a full-sized refrigerator, and other amenities. There is a drip coffee maker and filters and coffee are supplied. Some spices, olive oil, Pam, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise are supplied. The home has high-speed wireless internet, Hulu TV for local channels and regular programming, Netflix, and Disney.

In the covered shed behind the house, you will find 2 adult bikes and a child’s bike, for your use for a quick trip to the heart of town or an adventure on the greenway. The shed is where you can also secure your bikes on the bike rack provided and a hose along the driveway allows you to easily clean off the mud from your bikes after tackling the numerous mountain biking trails. If your bike requires maintenance, a bike stand and bike tools are in the shed. A bike pump is located on the back porch of the main house.

This entire residence will be yours to enjoy and the shared gardens are also available for your enjoyment. The owner lives in the main house on the property and is available to help you whenever the need arises. If you need laundry done, she will gladly wash, dry, and fold your laundry for $10/load. Sunrise Cottage is the perfect spot to start and end your day’s adventures while in Brevard.

Great Place to Stay!

This was a wonderful place for my wife and me to stay, as we traveled to the mountains to see the beautiful fall colors which we had not seen for many years. Carol was a great host and very kind. The positive reviews by previous guests were entirely accurate.The property is very clean and reasonably priced. It's in a great location very close to downtown Brevard (a less than five minute drive). We'd definitely stay again.

Just the spot

Carol’s home is located just outside of town, walking distance to Silvermont, all the shops and restaurants, and a nice bike ride to Brevard Music center. It’s clean, cozy, & comfortable. The screened-in front porch was our favorite. We will return!

wonderful home base for waterfall hiking

My wife, 7 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sunset cottage. We are avid waterfall hikers, and this downtown location proved a central location to access the plethora of nearby waterfalls. The cottage was very bright, clean, and well stocked with all the typical items you might need when traveling. The host was lovely, reaching out to me the day before arrival to let me know we could check in early if desired and greeting us when we arrived. Outside of that friendly greeting, we were afforded perfect privacy, which is important when staying in a cottage with another home on the same property. My daughter loved her room with the extra pull-out bed. The high ceilings were an unexpected plus.The only drawback that I’ll mention to travelers is that while the home is very close to the downtown core, the streets and sidewalks aren’t set up to walk safely (at least not with a child) to said central businesses. With that said, you could not ask for a quicker and easier drive to downtown restaurants and shops. My family would definitely consider coming back to this home away from home on our next trip to brevard.

Rest and Reconnection

My 2 daughters-in-law and I used to travel to the mountains with my sweet mother-in-law. She has aged with dementia and we haven’t had a girls trip to the mountains in 5 years. I wanted to rekindle our Nail Girl’s Trip and revive the yearly mountain trip! I found Sunset Cottage on Best Life Dr. in Brevard, and it was the perfect place for us! We had a wonderful, relaxing time shopping in Brevard and visiting at the cottage! Carol’s place was sooo clean and inviting! It was short…but so sweet to reconnect together with our Lord and each other!
